    List of Ingredients




    Easy Cobweb Cupcakes


    1 recipe or package of chocolate cake mix
    1 tube chocolate or black decorating icing gel
    1 package Marshmallow Peeps Pumpkins
    1 package Marshmallow Peeps Spooky Cats
    1 package Marshmallow Peeps Ghosts

    For the icing:

    2 egg whites
    3 cups confectioner's sugar
    1 tablespoon orange juice
    1/4 teaspoon salt

    Recipe




    Bake 24 chocolate cupcakes according to package or recipe directions and allow to cool completely.

    To prepare the icing, combine egg whites, sugar, orange juice and salt in a mixing bowl.

    Mix on high speed for several minutes, or until the icing is thick and shiny and holds soft peaks.

    If too thick, add a bit more orange juice.

    If too thin, add a bit more sugar.

    Next, decorate the cupcakes one at a time.

    Spoon a tablespoon of the white icing onto the center of a cupcake and spread with a small spatula or butter knife to cover the top.

    Using the tube of icing gel, drizzle a spiral of dark icing-begin at the center and spiral out to the edge.

    Next, place a toothpick lightly into the icing at the center and drag it out to the edge.

    Turn the cupcake and repeat this process in half-inch intervals all around to create a spider web effect.

    Place a Peeps Pumpkin, Spooky Cat or Ghost in the center of the cobweb and repeat with remaining cupcakes.

    Makes 24 cupcakes
